BEIRUT, September 30. /TASS/. Syria fully trusts Russia and steps taken by its President Vladimir Putin, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Mualem said on Wednesday.

"The position outlined by the Russian president in his speech at the UN General Assembly is absolutely clear and we support it," al-Mualem said. "As for the United States and US-led coalition, we do not trust them. Judge for yourself, their air force delivered 9,000 air strikes on Syria and Iraq but we felt no results."

The minister, currently in New York, said earlier that partnership with Russia, Iran and Iraq against the Islamic State terrorist group would be useful in combatting terrorism.
